Description: | Lower guard from a sword, or more likely, a dagger based on the size of the artefact. The guard has a rectangular cross section and would curve away from the hand when used. The guard has a rectangular opening at it centre to accommodate the tang of the dagger. The underside of the guard has a V-shaped slot either side of the rectangular opening to house the top of the blade. The underside is poorly finished in comparison to the upper face. No design is evident on the guard, although much of the original surface has been lost. | Subjects: | Dagger | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
